 We'd echo NewLaunches take on Samsung's new SGH-E236: If you're looking for decent music playback, why bother with an expensive phone? Samsung's entry-level cheapie looks like it'll do well to bridge the gap between MP3 player and cheap phone, with essential microSD support, but don't expect to do much else with the phone. The 0.3 megapixel (640x480) imaging sensor won't win it too many fans, but fortunately the likely price of free or cheap with contract will. The device has already seen FCC approval, so it's just a matter of time before our less --- um, financially privileged (read: Broke) -- readers get their hands on the thing.

LG and Sprint announce the Muziq

 Despite some other music-phone launching later this week, Sprint and LG are announcing the LG MUZIQ. If it weren't being announced sandwiched between scads and scads of iPhone posts, the MUZIQ might get some extra attention with some interesting features like a built-in FM transmitter that'll broadcast music to any FM reciever within ten feel, and support for SD cards up to 4GB (using SDHC.)
Music features aside, the phone is pretty standard, featuring a standard 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth (with DUN support so you can get your EV-DO tether on) and interestingly support for Pop3 email. The phone also rocks out some EV-DO love should you need to get some over-the-air music streams or downloads. If you're looking to clean up some of that pocket clutter with a small capacity MP3 player and clamshell handset, the MUZIQ might do the job come July 15th when it launches for $99 with a two-year contract.
